Letters to my teenage self
A Devotional for Trauma Survivors
Day 8 - Satan Is A Liar
Dear teenage self,
Satan is a liar. He's out to get you because you're important to God. You're having nightmares, following dreams, listening to the wind, and looking at horoscopes for meaning, but you'll never find it there. Stop looking to astrology for all of the answers to your big questions. Start looking to Jesus.
Be sober-minded; be watchful. Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion, seeking someone to devour. +
1 Peter 5:8 (ESV)
Whenever you're near a breakthrough, Satan attacks you harder. Focus your mind on Jesus during those moments and devour the Word of God as if your heart and mind are starving. Whenever you start to doubt the path that you're on, look to Jesus and see where He is already at work. That's where you want to be.
Let's Pray
I come to You in Jesus' Holy name, Lord God in Heaven. I ask for Your guidance and comfort when I feel lost and anxious. I'm so sorry for looking elsewhere for answers. I was wrong. You are the One who holds my past, present, and future in Your competent hands. I don't need to know everything right now. I simply need to trust You. You are my King. You are on the throne. Thank You for giving me more faith to trust in You. Amen.
